L Normal operation, for a longer range, about 30 feet maximum
Quick-Start Circuit
Calibration
The PIR Sensor requires a warm-up time in order to function properly. This is due to the settling time
involved in “learning” its environment. This could be up to 40 seconds. During this time, the LEDs under
the lens will be on and there should be as little motion as possible in the sensors field of view.
